Vocational Aspects in Word Format                    Vocational Aspects in Adobe PDF Format
 

PLEASE NOTE:  Effective November 1, 2004, there are now two levels of Provisional MHRT/Community certification:  Level A and Level B.  Level B certification is the same as the Provisional MHRT/C certification prior to November 1st.  Level A is for applicants with a human services-related degree.  For full details, please see the letter from Christine Robinson, Adult Mental Health Services, Department of Health and Human Services and attached list of acceptable degrees for this new level of certification in your choice of Word or Adobe formats.  We will update the online guidelines shortly to reflect these changes.

Letter and Level A requirements in:    WORD        ADOBE PDF

You can download the MHRT/Community Guidelines in Adobe Acrobat (require Adobe Reader) or MS Word formats.

Our MHRT/Community Non-Academic Course Standards and Trainer Application form are now available for download in Adobe Acrobat format.

By request, we have created a an MHRT/Community work experience waiver request form you can fill out and submit to your supervisor when requesting a course to be waived through your work experience.  You can download the form in:  Word or  Adobe  formats.

Should you have difficulty with the above links, you may request a packet via, email or call (207) 626-5280.  Please provide your mailing address and a daytime phone number in case we need to contact you.  Please explain the problem you had with our website so we can fix it.  The packet can also be emailed to you in either Word or Adobe formats.

Classes/Trainings towards MHRT I or MHRT/C certification:  At this point in time, the Center for Learning does not offer any of the courses/training required for certification.  We only oversee the certification programs.  Please see either the MHRT I Resources page or Appendix A in the Community Guidelines for where you can take the necessary courses/trainings.

PLEASE NOTE:  Effective February 1, 2004, you may substitute a Full MHRT/Community (or II or III) certificate in place of the Mental Health Support Specialist (MHSS formerly RCS) course when you are applying for MHRT I certification.  All other requirements for MHRT I remain unchanged.

Before sending the Center for Learning an email with your question in regards to certification, please be sure to read both the MHRT/Community Guidelines and the MHRT/Community FAQ's.  These two documents will answer most questions.
